The Bengals need to suck it up, break the norm and make a damn trade

Well, desperate times call for desperate measures. A little urgency would go a long way here. If this organization has really "changed" the way that they operate (they haven't) then they need to suck it up and trade a pick or two for some defensive line help. They just have to.

Yes the defensive line is about to get a bit healthier, but it's still not good enough.

How about trading the Dolphins for Calais Cambell? He's had a pretty good year so far and surely it wouldn't take too much to pluck him away from the Dolphins and their tanking season. A cheap vet on a one year deal is about as good as we can ask for.

Do it front office. Make a damn move and salvage what was supposed to be a Super Bowl season before its too late.

It is not just the Bengals; it appears very few trades happen after week 1 until the trade deadline. I was watching the Phins and thought Campbell would be a cheap trade option, maybe a 6th round pick. But Miami needs to be willing.

Teams do not want to send a message to their team nor their fans they are quitting in week #5. I would look at the Jags DL, they are 0-4 and in deep crap. But I am not sure they have anyone on their DL that would make a huge impact other than Hines - Allen. Armstead maybe a player the Bengals should make a call, but he is a tackle. Walker is the other starting DE, but only 25 and 1st round pick so unlikely they would trade him.

Simply, it is hard to find trade partners. But if Raiders are willing to possibly trade D. Adams, maybe they would trade Crosby. Crosby matched with Trey would be a dynamic combo. I guess we can dream.
